Description marek 2012-01-27 08:45:16 UTC 
If I stay for a while with the mouse cursor on a member in the Navigator window, this member's javadoc window pops up. This pop-up window cannot be fixed to scroll the text, if the text doesn't fit in the window, or to enlarge the window (Ctrl-F1). This window disappears as soon, as the mouse cursor leaves the Navigator window.
This problem exists in NB 7.0 as well.

Java Members view issue -> reassigning to Java/Navigation, please evaluate.

The javadoc content follows mouse as you move on navigator and hides when you move from it.
It provides outline of the javadoc, if you need the full version switch to Javadoc Window (Ctrl+F1).

This is a really important issue. Having the javadoc so near, even with the scroll bar there but not being able to scroll it, is really annoying. Even, the cntr-f1 takes some refreshing before it works. At least, if the scroll bar would scroll when there is enough space would be very useful.

Not being able to check the javadoc quickly is a serious problem in usability.
